Hard gel vs BIAB: how to choose your structure

Structure is personal. The manicure should be built around your nails.

Clients often compare hard gel, builder gel, and BIAB-style services when they want more strength than regular gel. RM focuses on choosing a structure that looks slim, balanced, and appropriate for the natural nail.
